THIS hilarious image captures the moment five dressed-up women wearing posh hats and frocks sat in stony silence on the bus after a tiring day at the races.

Daniel Csongor, 36, was on his way home from work when the unusual bus passengers stood out to him because of their "well-behaved" manner and "unusual choice of clothing for public transport".

The events crew manager claims the five women, clearly dolled up from their day at Ascot, sat without saying a word as they rode the bus through Chelsea at around 8pm on Tuesday evening, the opening day of the races.

Daniel, who lives in Chelsea, London, said: "I took the picture as I was about to get off the bus because I thought it was really funny. They were all sitting there quietly and they didn't look very cheery.

None of them were chatting or anything, it was like they couldn't wait to get home

"You usually see people dressed like that or who are going to the races looking very cheerful, but these lot looked like they had had a long day and ran out of steam.

"None of them were chatting or anything, it was like they couldn't wait to get home.

"It was quite funny as you don't usually see people in outfits like this on the bus - and the way they were sat was like they were in a cab.

"Maybe they had called a cab and it never came or when I shared it online I suggested they had perhaps spent all of their taxi money on their posh hats."
